Focal Clear MG Professional

Open-back studio headphones with magnesium drivers

The Focal Clear MG Professional is an open-back over-ear headphone designed for mixing, mastering and production. Its open design gives natural spatialisation and stereo imaging, and its wide dynamics let you move from your studio monitors to headphones without losing your bearings. A precise checking tool that stays comfortable over long sessions.

Magnesium diaphragm drivers

Its 40 mm drivers use an "M"-profile magnesium diaphragm that is both light and rigid. Tonal balance is remarkable, as is bass articulation. The open grille inside the ear cup closely follows the diaphragm profile to optimise its efficiency.

Linear highs, preserved transients

With diaphragm break-up pushed up to 28 kHz, high frequencies stay very linear across the audible band and transients are reproduced precisely. Rated harmonic distortion is 0.25% at 1 kHz and 100 dB SPL.

Comfort for long sessions

The constant-curve headband spreads pressure evenly on the head. The solid aluminium yoke does without the usual vertical pivot, moved into the headband for extra comfort. The honeycomb outer ear cups open up the soundstage, and the yoke has a scratch-resistant textured black finish.

Which amplifier?

With 55 ohms and 104 dB sensitivity, the Clear MG Professional plugs straight into a quality audio interface or console. To get the most out of it, a transparent headphone amp such as the JDS Labs Atom Amp 2 or the Lake People G108 is ideal.
